Chapter 278 Acceptance
The internal combustion engine pulling the tractor was not as fast as the motorcycle. It took them almost two hours to get from Songjianghe to the forest farm. By the time they arrived at the forest farm, it was already past five o'clock.
Sheng Xiping had been away from home for seven or eight days and was already homesick. So he got out of the car, said goodbye to everyone, and then led Chen Feng back home in a flash.
Before he even entered the gate, he could hear the dog making noise.
As soon as Sheng Xiping stepped through the gate, several dogs in the yard practically pounced on him, tugging at his leash and whining.
Chen Feng had seen dogs when he was in Lijiawa, and had even been chased by one.
So when he saw the four big dogs in the yard, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and hid behind Sheng Xiping, clutching Sheng Xiping's clothes tightly with both hands, almost crying.
"Xiaofeng, don't be afraid. These are the hunting dogs that your uncle keeps. They are dogs that go hunting in the mountains. They only bite prey and not people."
"They're doing this because I haven't been back for a long time, they missed me. It's nothing."
As Sheng Xiping spoke, he came over and patted each of the dogs' heads to make them happy.
With the dog barking like that outside, how could we not hear it inside?
Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan were tidying up the food in the kitchen when they heard the noise and guessed that Sheng Xiping had returned. They hurriedly came out of the house to check.
Chen Ruiqing stood at the door, watching her mother-in-law point at her husband, and said nothing.
How long must the child have been starving to become that hungry? If Su Mingchang had taken the child back, he would probably have starved to death someday.
"Whether they're our children or adopted, they all need to go to school; that's the most important thing." Su Mingchang nodded quickly and smiled.
Add a big bowl of cucumber salad, a small plate of steamed eggplant, and a bowl of steamed egg sauce, and that's not dinner.
Upon hearing this, Deng Feizhi laughed.
He can stay with his grandparents tonight.
Oh dear, speaking of which, the Su couple are our Eighth Brother's benefactors.
"He said that he's over seventy and his wife is about to become a father, so how come he's so reliable?"
I keep saying that I have a life-or-death friendship with Sheng Xiping, but how am I going to cover up that lie when Sheng Xiping comes to pick up my son?
We were just peering in from under the door and windowsill, but we didn't dare make a sound.
"Mom, you met another child in the provincial capital. My parents found him, and you had a plan to bring him back. What do you think he should do?"
"My dear mother, buy some meat tomorrow and make dumplings. We absolutely have to make dumplings to celebrate your grandson's visit."
Upon hearing Deng Fei's words, Zhang Shuzhen remembered as well and quickly replied.
When the meeting was held, all the forestry bureaus under the provincial forestry system arranged for educated youth to attend.
"Go ahead, Grandma is nasty, she'll scold him." Su Mingchang laughed and pushed Xiaofeng back.
When she was cooking the stew later, Zhang Shuzhen cut some salted meat out of the pot.
“Dad, let Dafeng live with you on the north kang. You hate me, but you want to live with Dafeng.”
Bringing a child back with him will be a huge burden, won't it? Our family's only been through a few bad days, why is he making such a fuss?
"Oh, you naughty boy! That piece of meat was put on my plate by your grandson, I have to eat it."
"Later, find someone to prescribe me two doses of medicine. It'll upset my spleen and stomach, and I'll get sick quickly," Deng Feizhi added from the other end.
I heard that Zhou Qinglan has a boyfriend, and it seems like they're getting married soon.
Just then, Sheng Liancheng spoke up. I thought Deng Fei was quite pleasing to the eye, and I decided to live with Xiao Feng.
The only thing that remains the same is that I met Sheng Xiping in that lifetime.
"Grandpa is bad, Grandma is bad, your name is Xiaofeng, your uncle picked you up. Do you remember where you live?"
Deng Fei glanced at Xiao Feng casually. The child was so thin that even wolves would cry. He was probably not raised outside the family but abandoned.
Deng Fei was able to finally have enough to eat during those few days while she was with Su Mingchang.
“I told him I was four years old. He saw that I was thin and big, and he guessed that it was because I had been eating too much and my nutrition was poor.”
Do you remember that our two families didn't exchange gifts yet? When the youngest child was born, it was Su Xiaoniang who delivered him.
Xiaofeng is still older, and I was always hungry afterwards, so my appetite is so small.
At that moment, Su Mingchang had a sudden inspiration and remembered the Jiapigou gold mine. After inquiring, he found out it was indeed the Jiapigou mine.
And so, Zhang Shuzhen, with Xiaofeng in her arms, stepped ahead of Su Jingsheng and walked out of the house.
"You're his uncle's wife, so he calls you 'Auntie.' From now on, you'll live with you."
So when Ding arrived at Sheng's house, he saw the oily flatbread, but it wasn't even as appealing as the glistening, trembling, and fragrant meat outside the bowl. To say that Xiao Feng was greedy would be a lie.
Sheng Xitai had strong connections, and through some maneuvering, he was transferred to the Hongshi Forestry Bureau as deputy director, in charge of forest management.
I also remembered Su Mingchang's advice that I should not overeat and should recover quickly, so I only ate half a pancake and some vegetables for dinner and was full.
Chen Ruiqing is a teacher, and out of professional habit, as soon as she heard that the child was four years old, she thought about the child needing to drop out of school.
"Yes, that's what you think too. Is there still time to discuss it with them?"
You remember how bad his relationship with my eldest son used to be? He's kept in touch with us though, but why is he suddenly thinking of our family?
"Dad, will the policy remain the same from now on?"
At that time, Zheng and Xiao picked out eight or seven pieces and placed them all outside Xiao Feng's bowl.
"Grandpa and Grandma, they're eating. Auntie doesn't have a younger brother anymore, so she's eating too. You only need one piece."
Su Jingsheng coughed and gestured for everyone to leave the house.
